Amber and Eduardo are happy to have some of their closest friends and family join them by standing up with them in their wedding. Here is a chance for everyone to get to know these special people in their lives.
Bride's Side
Heather (Maid of Honor)
Heather and Amber at Wilson Creek Winery Jan. 2008
Amber and Heather have been friends since 6th grade when they were in the same class. Heather reached out first but they both quickly became great friends. Heather has always been there for Amber making her laugh and they have became even closer in recent years despite Amber going away for college. Heather has just finished nursing school and is excited
to find out where life will lead her next. Heather will be a blast to have at the wedding!
Katie (Maid of Honor)
Katie and Amber Jan. 2008
Katie and Amber have known each other for about 20 years now, since they were in preschool. Katie did not like Amber at first (she was jealous) but they soon became best friends growing up, becoming more like sisters. Amber and Katie have helped each other out in all the ups and downs in their lives becoming closer because of them. Katie will soon be entering cosmetology school. It will be exciting to see her learn about her passion and see where it will lead her. It will be an honor to have Katie standing up there at the wedding.
Rachel (bridesmaid)

Rachel and Amber both have a lot in common and both think that they should have met a lot earlier in their college career. They met shortly before they both went to study abroad in Australia, but at different universities. After Rachel got back from Australia they became quick friends while working together at the HSU Bookstore. Rachel is well on her way to her dream of becoming a marine animal veterinarian, she will do great things. It will be great to have Rachel standing up with Amber at the wedding.
Andy (bridesmaid)

Andy is working on getting her degree in International Relations at Cal State Chico and will be studying abroad in Italy this Fall. It will be exciting to hear about her travels. It will be an honor to have Andy stand up at our wedding.
Groom's Side
Alex (best man)

Alex and Eduardo have been friends for a long time, both went to Humboldt for computers. Through lots of studying and "talking shop" they have become great friends. Alex recently came back from a great trip in Europe, now who knows where the world will take him.
Sadie (groomsmaid)
Sadie's Senior Photo May 2007
Eduardo is doing things a little differently by having a woman stand on his side, giving her a new title as "groomsmaid". Sadie and Eduardo were band mates in their punk rock band, Burnt Toast. Through their shared interest of music, Sadie and Eduardo have become great friends over the last couple of years. Sadie graduated with a degree in Sociology and is currently
working for a home for troubled teen girls. Sadie is great at what she does and is helping out the community. It will be great to have Sadie standing up at the wedding.
Mark (groomsman)
Mark at Stream Guys Dinner 2007
Mark and Eduardo work together at Stream Guys in Arcata. Mark is on the sales team while Eduardo is on the tech team, but that doesn't stop them from being great friends. Eduardo and Mark daily have lunch "meetings" where they joke and talk about the day. It will be great to have Mark's humor while standing up at the wedding.
Stephen (groomsman)
Eduardo and Stephen at Amber's Graduation Party 2008
Stephen is Amber's brother, and when Stephen got married Amber was his "best girl". It was obvious to Amber and Eduardo that Stephen would stand up at their wedding. Over the years Eduardo and Stephen have become friends, enjoying playing video games and bocce ball together. It will be great to continue the tradition and have Stephen stand up at the wedding.
